Ensuring Quality in Examination Delivery
The onus is on the colleges to produce the examination question papers and streamline the administration process. This adherence to quality and standards ensures students are assessed fairly. It is also noteworthy that during these resit examinations, all scores must maintain a standard; they shouldn’t plummet below 40% or rise above 45% based on the university’s grading metrics.
